My Other Blog : The Job Blog

Hello Readers,

I request all those who made the effort to come to The HR Story and spend time here, to also spend a few minutes on my new blog : The Job Blog . 

I started The Job Blog after scores of people told me that there aren't enough recruitment/job related blogs in the blogsphere that provide down-to-earth, practical information and advice. The Job Blog intents to be a site which anyone, anywhere in the world can refer to and gain practical information + motivation just before a Job Interview or those in the 'Transition Phase'.

So please visit the blog and let me know what you feel about it and if you have any suggestions about the content and on improving the blog further, so it can be as useful to you as possible. 

Cheers!

Pankaj 

The HR Story Resource Site

Greetings!

I have created a site to act as a recource/support center to this blog. Readers will be able to find various HR related resources in the form of Word documents, Power Point presentations, PDF files and the ocassional Jpeg image.

This is my attempt to share and contribute HR resources in a much more comprehensive manner to supplement my articles here.

I have created the site quite recently, so readers will not find too much material on the site right now, but be rest assured that it will be updated very frequently.

Go to the site:

The HR Story Resource Site

Comments as always, are welcome both on this blog and on the site along with requests pertaining to the field of HR.

Happy Reading!

New Addition to The HR Story

I just installed a nice little tool on this site called Snap Shots that enhances links with visual previews of the destination site, interactive excerpts of Wikipedia articles, MySpace profiles, IMDb profiles and Amazon products, display inline videos, RSS, MP3s, photos, stock charts and more.

Sometimes Snap Shots bring you the information you need, without your having to leave the site, while other times it lets you "look ahead," before deciding if you want to follow a link or not. Should you decide this is not for you, just click the Options icon in the upper right corner of the Snap Shot and opt-out.

Ok, the above two paragraphs were provided to me by Snap Shots itself. But I do believe this is a nifty tool. However, if you feel that this blog would be better without this tool do let me know.

Take Care,

Pankaj

INTRODUCING: The HR Story Book Club!

The field of Human Resource Management/Development is a vast one. It incorporates so many elements today, that without a well rounded understanding of atleast more than half of such elements, one can never hope to become an effective and more importantly, a path breaking HR Professional.

While there is no substitute for actual on-the-job experience when it comes to effective learning, reading well researched literature, especially that borne out of actual professional experience, can also add a substantial amount to the knowledge and confidence of aspiring/in-experienced professionals in any field.

So, keeping this in mind, I have decided to initiate the ' The HR Story Book Club' which will focus on upto 3 HR books every fortnight while laying a comparatively more comprehensive focus on or highlighting one of the books selected to provide the potential reader a better insight before he/she purchases or borrows a copy.

Wishing you a Great Read!


P.S: Business Authors, particularly those in the field of Human Resources, can send in a request to get their books reviewed along with the relevant details and a copy of their book. The copy can either be sent through e-mail or by post.

Incase you would like to send in a copy of your book by post, please contact me on my e-mail to obtain my postal address.

Readers are also very welcome to recommend books for reviews from their side if they feel that a certain book should be highlighted or deserves praise.
